London, UK – West Ham United don pull dem leg from Graham Potter as dem sack am after just nine months on top. Dis one no dey sweet for Potter fans, but the board don release statement say dem need change sharp-sharp to save their Premier League backside from relegation.
Potter carry West Ham go bottom of the table, 19th place. E only fit win six matches out of 23 since him take over from Julen Lopetegui. Na serious wah! And the last straw? Last weekend, dem vex say Crystal Palace come waka come collect three points for them own ‘home’. Smh!
As dem dey prepare for big match against Everton this Monday Night Football, West Ham don quickly eye Nuno Espirito Santo as dem next gaffer. Di guy don dey chill since him waka from Nottingham Forest just three weeks ago. If you sabi Nuno, you go remember say e get style wey dey focus on counter-attack. But how dat one go work for West Ham wey dey struggle right now? Na big question o!
Nuno don show excitement for the new role as he talk say, “I am very pleased to be here and very proud to be representing West Ham United.” (With things as e be now, anybody wey go take dem for Coach no go carry play play o!) E don sign three-year contract, so e go need work fess to make sure West Ham no follow ‘fall and die’ for Premier League.
Dem say Potter no fit bring the team together as all dis new signings no dey show for pitch. E be like dem no gree gel together! Fans no too happy, and their patience don run out. When dem dey chant ‘sacked in the morning’, you go know say na serious matter wey Potter dey face.
In short, the board support everything wey Nuno go bring come; but dis one dey give people different mind. Some pipo dey hail am, others dey fear say e no go fit deliver. (You fit imagine, e don manage Spurs for small time, and we all know how dat story end!)
Now, Nuno need quick fix, as dem get some tough matches coming up against Everton and Arsenal. If e no sabi quick hustle, e go dey hard to carry West Ham run come back for safe zone. As fans, we dey watch how dem go respond to dis change.
Bottom line, dis one be like big gamble for West Ham management. E fit work, or we fit see dem crumble more. Conclusion na: football no dey get pity. Players go need step up, especially Di Declan Rice and Jarrod Bowen wey be dem key players. Na dem be the ones wey suppose burst brain if dem want win dem next matches sharply!
